1975-76 Royals team inducted into Manitoba Hockey Hall of Fame by Judy Wells Go, Royals, Go! On Saturday, October 3, the 1975-76 Deloraine Royals were inducted into the Manitoba Hockey Hall of Fame in the team category. They were presented with the prestigious award at the annual Hockey Manitoba Dinner and Induction Ceremony held at the Polo Park Canad Inn in Winnipeg. Following a delicious meal, the team met with other inductees and were piped into the banquet hall. Individuals or teams
are inducted into five categories including Player, Builder, Official, Media, or Teams. Presentations were made on each team and individual inducted, and then teams were introduced on the stage. Clark Tweed gave the acceptance speech for the Royals. “On behalf of the Deloraine Royals we want to congratulate all of this year’s inductees. It is indeed an honour for us to be in such elite company. The Deloraine
Royals of the 1970s was a team that experienced much success, not only in the Southwest Hockey League but also at the provincial and interprovincial levels. We had a run of six straight league titles which included one undefeated season, followed by a season with only one loss, along with four provincial championships and the only Manitoba-Saskatchewan challenge championship. In 1975 we beat the Warroad Lakers in a best of three series, after los-

ing game one. Warroad had won the Hardi Cup the previous year. In 1976 the Royals were named the Brandon Sun Team of the Year. All this was done with local players at a time when many teams were hiring ex-professionals to bolster their line ups. The 1970s was the era of wooden hockey sticks, shared water bottles, and big cars with large trunks, to transport the players and equipment to games. .in our case, our Royals fans would drive
us to our further away games. I am sure our opponents thought we were cocky and maybe we were a little, but mostly we were confident - confident that we could compete with any team we faced. We would generally get stronger as the game went on, and we were not afraid to be down on the scoreboard. We didn’t consider ourselves a great team over those year, but we were a real good team with great people, who
got along on and off the ice. Following most home games, we, along with our spouses or girlfriends, would gather for a few beverages at one of our homes. All of our team success stemmed from a commitment by our teammates to show up for Sunday morning 10:00 a.m. practice no matter how late we got home the night before. We didn’t complain about ice time and most important we just loved the game. (Continued on Page 2)

Royals inducted into Hall of Fame (Continued from Page 1) We weren’t a physical team but we wouldn’t back down from it either. We had a few dust ups over the years and we even had one game called by the referees three minutes into the first period because of a bench clearing brawl. That particular night we had a couple of local players who were going to university in Winnipeg, drive out for the game. Needless to say they got home early that evening. This induction has brought back a lot of memories - none more memorable than the fact there are two very important teammates no longer with us - Dennis Olischefski, our captain, and also a team founder, and Wayne Coxworth, assistant captain. These two players were perennial all- star defensemen in the Southwest Hockey League, who could change the flow of a game with a timely hit, a game breaking pass, or a big goal. Sometimes they would do all three in one game. They both died much too young and we miss them dearly. Dorothy Olischefski had planned to attend tonight with her family, however, this past July her son Derrin passed away at age 50 from cancer. Our thoughts and prayers are with Dorothy and her family tonight. She did ask that we might raise a toast to “The Captain” and we will do that later this evening. We are delighted that Colleen Coxworth and her family are here tonight to help us celebrate this special occasion. We will raise a toast to Wayne later as well. One individual who played a big role in our team’s success was coach Roy Clelland. Roy is a man of few words. If we hadn’t played our best in a period, he would wait until we were ready to go back on the ice, enter the room, walk quietly around and in a calm
voice he would say, “You guys know what to do.” He was absolutely right, we knew we had to play better. It is hard to name everyone who contributed to our success over the years. A few notables were our fans. They were always there, at home or on the road, Doc Bonar who tried to keep us at full strength during the game with a stitch here and there, Delmar Main for providing us with the best ice of anywhere we played, our trainers, stick boys, water boys, managers, and drivers with the dedicated support, and Lee VanMackelbergh, or Heimer, although mentally challenged, was our team’s biggest advocate.” A big thank you to our families and friends for being with us on this memorable occasion and to the Manitoba Hockey Hall of Fame Committee for this great evening.” The other inductees included: Players Cam Connor, Sheldon Kennedy, Cully Wilson, and Curt Ridley. Sheldon Kennedy gave the key address in which he spoke about his experiences with abuse. His speech drew two standing ovations. Builders - Al Hares, Andy Murray, John Paddock, Dianne Woods. Andy Murray of Gladstone began coaching at 25 and by 30 was head coach at Brandon University. After a stint in the AHL, he was an assistant in the NHL for several teams including the Winnipeg Jests before head coaching the LA Kings and St. Louis Blues. He also won three gold medals as coach for the Canadian National team. In his acceptance speech, Andy Murray mentioned the Royals which was especially nice as the Royals had beat the Souris Elks that year to win provincials. Officials - Gerry Varnes.
Media - Scott Oakes. Teams - 1953-54 Dauphin Kings; 1979-80 Transcona Railers and 1975-76 Deloraine Royals: Bob Caldwell, Don Morrison, Clark Tweed, Jack Edwards, Tom Dunn, Glen King, Don Dietrich, Dan Sunaert, Kerry McLeod, Vern Percival, Roy Clelland Bruce Stephens, Wayne Coxworth, Dennis Oleschefski, Danny Cassils, Lyle Franklin, Maurice Raes, Larry McKillop, Dale McKinnon, Gary Williams, Tim Morrison, Wayne Wilson, Gary Ewan, Bob Willox, Bob Clelland, Brian Franklin, Dennis Maxwell and Gord Henry. The Royals, wearing polo shirts with a Manitoba Hockey Hall of Fame imprint, all gathered after the banquet and toasted their two teammates who have passed away....Wayne Coxworth and Dennis Olischefski. “The Royals appre ciate support of family and fans who attended the evening. The 1975-76 Royals accept this award on behalf of all Royals teams throughout the years,” concluded Bob Caldwell.

Prairie Mountain Health ready to roll with Flu Shot Campaign Prairie Mountain Health (PMH) is launching its seasonal Flu Shot Campaign shortly after the Thanksgiving long weekend. Free flu clin ics are scheduled in many communities through until the middle of November. The “Get vaccinated don’t spread the flu campaign” kicks off in the Health Region this year on Saturday, October 17, in Brandon at the Nurses Residence Gym within Brandon Regional Health Centre. In PMH North, the first clinics are set for the communities of Dauphin and Barrows on October 19 and within PMH South, the first sched uled clinics will occur in the communities of Holland, Pierson and Rossburn on October 20. Residents are advised to watch for ads in local newspapers, listen to local radio, or check out posters in your home community for flu clinic dates, times and loca tions. The PMH website (prairiemountainhealth.c a) has the complete listing of flu shot clinics in your area. You can also ‘like’ us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter @PrairieMtHealth for up to date information. In cases where some clinics require an appointment, (excluding the City of Brandon clinics) please call established toll-free phone numbers to find out more information. The dedicated phone numbers, for appoint ment-based clinics, are found on the PMH website or by contacting
your local Public Health office. Once again this year, the seasonal flu shot will be available to all Manitobans at no charge. It will offer protection against four flu virus strains, including H1N1. The flu vaccine is recommended for eve ryone over 6 months of age. However, immu nization is especially important for those at increased risk of serious illness or complications from the flu, their caregivers and close con tacts. Prairie Mountain Health reminds you that if you are 65 years of age or older, or have a chronic illness, you should also get a pneu monia shot. One ‘pneumo’ shot may give you a lifetime of protection. For the 2015-2016 flu season, the intranasal (FluMist) flu vaccine will also be available for eligible children and adolescents 2-17 years. However, due to production delays, FluMist may not be available until the week of October 26. For more information, please contact your local Public Health office. Remember to bring your Manitoba Health Card and your Immunization Card(s) to the clinics. You are also advised to wear short sleeves if possible. If you have specific questions about the flu shot, or wish to speak to a Registered Nurse, please contact Health Links/ Info SantÄ at 1-888315-9257.

Odds & Ends
Farmlink Marketing Solutions by Marvin Mills What is a basis? Understanding what a basis is and how it is used can be difficult. The typical definition of a basis can be defined as the difference between the local cash price of a commodity and the price of a specific futures contract of the same commodity at a point in time. You can look at the basis as localizing the futures price. A futures value represents a global price for grain on a given day, which is used as a benchmark and helps to establish local values. The purpose of the basis is to allow the local cash price to adjust to fit the reality of local buying and selling interest. Basically, the basis will reflect the local market conditions in any given location. Basis is usually a negative number because of carrying charges. In normal market con -
ditions, cash prices are lower than the nearby futures prices. With the approach of delivery on the futures, carrying charges diminish and the price difference between cash and futures decreases. The difference in basis levels is related to the delivery locations, period of delivery, as well as costs like elevation and administration. This is why bids to the farmer are often below the futures price. Other factors that impact the movement of the basis include transportation costs. This means that sellers further away from areas where grain is used or exported may be at a disadvantage because of transportation costs. Local supply and demand conditions also influence the local basis values. If an area is faced with short supply, due to drought for example, you
Deloraine
would tend to see stronger basis levels in the impacted area. If a basis is becoming more positive or less negative, it is strengthening. When cash prices are increasing relative to futures. If it is becoming more negative, or less positive, it is weakening. Quality of the crop, availability and needs of the end user will cause the basis to fluctuate. Handling costs and profit margin will also contribute to the basis varying from one place to another and from one time of year to the next. Changes in the basis can be a signal to the producer to deliver grain, store it or lock in a price. As basis levels widen, grain companies are giving the producer a signal that there is less demand for a specific commodity at that particular time. Basis levels are sometimes wide at harvest time or under circum-
stances when supplies in the system are abundant. Declining basis levels are a sign for the producer to deliver. When the basis level improves or become positive, it is a sign from the marketplace that it needs supplies. It means market demand is outpacing available supplies. There is a strong incentive to deliver.
Waskada School welcomed a new principal this year. Mr. Jeff Bretecher has taken over the administrative role. He is also a wrestling coach and would love to introduce the sport to the school and the area if it is feasible. See more in the article in this issue. • • • Everyone can use a laugh. They say it’s the best medicine. The opportunity to be entertained by a comedian is coming your way this Saturday October 17, when Investors Comedy Tourfeaturing Pete Zedlacher will be performing at the Deloraine Theatre. Tickets are available at Morrison’s, Simplicity, and Boundary Co-op Home Centre. Advance tickets are $25 and at the door $30. Check out the coming events ad for more. The proceeds go to the Curling Club Project. • • • Unfortunately, Deloraine Chamber’s Celebrations Evening has been canceled. You could say it is pretty much due to “lack of interest”. There were simply not enough nominations. Chamber will review the objective of the evening at its next meeting. If anyone has input about how to reinvent Celebrations, please contact Shirley Bell at shirley.bell@boundarycoop.ca or Liza Park at liza@delowin.ca. Or better yet - plan on attending the meeting and share your ideas. The next scheduled meeting is Thursday, November 5, at The Rendezvous Restaurant at noon. • • • Once again, a huge shout out to the 1975-76 Royals hockey team who were recently inducted into the Manitoba Hockey Hall of Fame. Check out the article in this issue. For those of you who lived those “glory years” you will relate well to Clark Tweed’s acceptance speech. It was indeed a special time, however, this team strongly expressed that this award was for all Royals teams, past and present. • • • Planning for the Deloraine Border Festival really goes on almost all year. The Committee met this week and most of the adjudicators are already confirmed. Speaking of adjudicators, the Committee found out the rates to hire them are going up $50 a day. It used to be $250/day and will now be $300/day. If you take that $50 times about 13 or so sessions - well, that’s quite an increase. Fortunately the community is very generous in its support of the Festival. It’s still likely the Committee will be looking at more fundraising ideas. If anyone out there has ideas, please contact the Committee.
Letter to the editor Another note from a former resident: Dear Judy, It’s that time again. I’m enclosing a cheque for $42.94 for next year’s subscription. I like to read what is happening in town. So many of the people that I used to sew for have passed away. Sincerely, Helen Denomme

Southwest Cougars win at home submitted by Grant Moffatt The Cougars started the weekend in Yellowhead and saw the Chiefs pick up their first win of the year with a 2-1 victory over the Cats on Friday night. Sunday afternoon the undefeated Winnipeg Thrashers made the trip to Souris and saw the Cougars hand them their first loss with a 6-3 win. Friday night in Shoal Lake the Chiefs scored first as Dayton Heino opened the scoring midway through the first. Noah Geekie scored a power play marker at 14:16 of the second for the 2-0 lead as Riley Lamb stopped everything the Cougars fired at him in the Chief’s net. The
Cougars had double the scoring chances in the game but failed to bury the puck. The third period saw Carson Boyechko jam in a loose puck at 2:31, from Dawson Waddell and John Patmore, to get the Cougars on the board. The Cats dominated the shots on goal but failed to bury the biscuit as Riley Lamb turned aside 34 saves for the win. Brady Gordon had his first start in the Cougars net and stopped 17 shots in the loss. Sunday afternoon saw a different Cougar squad take the ice as they dressed 20 players for the first time this season. Brian Harris opened the scoring three minutes into the game from John
Patmore and Jared Janke. The Cougars opened up a 2-0 lead with 14 seconds left when Jared Janke snapped home a feed from Ben Hilhorst. The Thrashers got on the board early in the second period at 2:29. Rylan Rommelaere, who started the game and was sharp through the first 22 minutes, left the game with an upper body injury and was replaced by Brady Gordon. John Patmore restored the Cougars lead just over a minute later when he snapped home a shot off the far post past Dylan Myskiw, from Jared Janke and Jay Webber, to restore the two goal lead.

Spot the warning signs of fraud before it’s too late Credit Unions Serving Manitoba No one ever wakes up in the morning and thinks to themselves, “Today I’m going to become a victim of fraud.” We assume we know the warning signs. We assume we under stand the risks. We assume we’ll recognize a scam when we see it. And yet, every day,
many of us do fall prey to fraudsters. Educated, informed people - friends, family, neighbours - get taken all the time. How? By being caught off-guard and not recognizing the signs. With that in mind, here are some simple ways you can protect yourself from fraud of all sorts:
Slow down A common theme in many fraud attempts is the artificial urgency fraudsters employ to prevent you from think ing things through. Don’t listen to them. When presented with an enticing offer, stop and think about it. Give it time to percolate. Does it still seem wise? Apply the ‘Too good to
Market Report by Bob Cey Stock markets gain on improving investor sentiment Stock markets around the world posted strong advances this week, based on growing sentiment that the US Federal Reserve might not raise interest rates this year and on improving commodities prices. Canada’s S&P/TSX Composite index outpaced many global benchmarks. Rising oil prices sent the energy sector sharply higher, while optimism over base metals price contributed to strong gains for the materials sector. Oil rallied on geopolitical tensions, a weakening US dollar and signs of decreasing industry investment and US production that could crimp supplies and boost prices. Among other key sectors, financials also gained. In the US, the S&P 500 advanced. On Monday, it capped its biggest five-day percentage increase since 2011. Rate sentiment and an improving environment for commodities, particularly in the energy sector, helped the index move higher. The health care sector remained volatile, as investor concerns about the possibility of drug company pricing scrutiny continued. The US thirdquarter earnings season began this week, putting
sales and profit reports in the spotlight. Markets were helped by minutes from the Federal Reserve’s September policy meeting showing that the Central Bank stayed the course on rates because of worries about when inflation would rise to its 2% target rate. This fuelled further speculation that it would maintain rates at historic lows for the rest of the year. Europe’s equity markets were also strong performers. Growing expectations that the Fed won’t raise rates and generally improving investor sentiment contributed to gains. Asian markets rose on global developments and the possibility that China could increase economic stimulus. Broad emerging markets indexes rose to two-month highs, largely on commodities strength. Economic news was mixed. Although Canada added 12,000 jobs in September, the unemployment rate rose to 7.1% from 7%. The country’s manufacturing sector continued to expand, according to the Ivey Purchasing Managers Index. Canada’s trade balance widened owing to declining exports, mainly in the energy sector. The US trade balance widened as a strong dollar and reduced global demand negatively affected
exports. In other news this week: • The Canadian dollar advanced relative to its US counterpart on commodities optimism. • Canadian housing starts jumped by more than expected in September and prices of new homes rose 1.3% yo-y in August. • Canada and the US were among 12 countries agreeing to a TransPacific Partnership trade deal. The pact must be ratified by participating nations. • The International Monetary Fund reduced its forecast for Canadian economic growth to 1% this year, down from an April forecast of 2.2%. The IMF predicted global growth of 3.1%, the lowest since the 2009 recession. • A Bank of Canada survey showed business confidence is “tepid” after a weak economy during the first half of the year. What’s ahead next week: Canada • Manufacturing sales. • CREA real estate sales. US • Consumer price index. • Federal Reserve Beige Book report. • Retail sales. • Industrial production. • Regional manufacturing surveys. • Producer price index.

be true’ test Listen to your gut. If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Question everything Who is this person who contacted you? Do you know them? Is their request unsolicited? Would you trust them to watch your wallet? Why did they approach you? What are the risks? Get a second opinion If you’re being asked to do something - wiring someone money, for example - and you feel uneasy about it, bounce the idea off of someone else. Contact a trusted friend, a colleague or someone at the credit union and run the pro posal past them. Do they think it’s a good idea, too? There’s no such thing as a free lunch Many scams play on the appeal of quick, easy money. It’s easy to get blinded by the dollar signs. Don’t let that dis tract you from making a reasonable, informed, cautious decision.
Mud Bog/Demo Derby great success On September 13, Sto-Van Oilfield Maintenance organized and ran a very successful Mud Bog and Demo Derby. Waskada hosted over 20 cars for the Derby and over 15 quads and side by sides dueled it out in the mud pit. The proceeds of the event were turned over to the Waskada and Area Recreation Centre to go towards construction costs of the new building.

Watch out for deer ticks Lyme disease is caused by a bacterial infection that people can get from the bite of an infected blacklegged (deer) tick. Manitobans can reduce contact with deer ticks by avoiding wooded or forested habitat, wearing long pants and a longsleeved shirt, tucking in clothing, using an appropriate repellent (it should state ‘for use against ticks’ on the product label), looking for and removing ticks as soon as possible. For more information about Lyme disease, its symptoms and how to prevent it, visit our website at www.manitoba.ca/health/lyme/
You can help You can help in the study of Lyme disease in Manitoba by collecting and submitting deer ticks for surveillance purposes. Deer ticks are smaller than the more common wood tick. Unlike wood ticks, they do not have white markings on their bodies. If you find a deer tick, remove it slowly from skin or clothing using tweezers and steady pressure; avoid twisting. Cleanse area with soap and water or a disinfectant. Place the tick in a small, crush-proof container (for example, a pill bottle) with a piece of slightly damp paper towel (to help keep the tick alive). Firmly tape the lid shut. Check the pictures and additional information on the website to determine if your tick might be a deer tick. Hand-deliver or mail the sample to the address below. If mailing, place the container in a sealed plastic bag then in a cardboard box labeled: RESEARCH SPECIMENS – FRAGILE – HANDLE WITH CARE Include your name, telephone number, email address and information about where, when and on whom (ex: a dog, a person) the tick was found.

Could surge in early polls mean rush on election day? by Darci Semeschuk Voter turn out at the October 19 federal election could be unprecedented if participation is anything like the advance polls held October 9 - 12. Canadians stampeded to those polls, exceeding turnout in the past elections early voting by 71 per cent. In total, some 3.6 million people cast ballots between Friday and Monday, according to Elections Canada, a promising sign of interest in this federal campaign, despite a steady decline in voter interest. Elections Canada estimated that 850,000 people voted on Friday; 780,000 on Saturday; 767,000 on Sunday; and a full 1.2 million people on Monday. According to Peter Loewen, associate professor of Political Science at the University of Toronto, who spoke to the Toronto Globe and mail, this election is also unusually competitive, with three parties making a serious push to form government. The three-way race, coupled with the extraordinary length of this
year’s campaign, at 78 days, the longest in modern Canadian history, may have contributed to the eagerness of early voters. Still, in his interview with Eric Andrew, Mr. Loewen cautioned against expecting a breakthrough in voter turnout on October 19 For one thing, he noted, advance voters would likely have voted on election day anyway.
Canadians are urged to exercise their democratic right on October 19 and cast a vote. Voter participation has been declining since the early 1990s, reaching a low point of 58.8 per cent in 2008, before rebounding slightly to 61.1 per cent in 2011. Could 2015 be the year when Canadian interest in voting hits an all time high?

OBITUARY MISSINNE Selvie (Sylvia) Missinne 1920 - 2015 Selvie (Sylvia) Missinne, sixth child of Petrus and Florence Cuvelier, was born August 1, 1920 on a farm in the Municipality of Winchester. Selvie passed away September 22, 2015 at the Bren-DelWin Lodge, Deloraine, MB. Sylvia went to school at Bayview in the Turtle Mountain. She came to the farm of Desire Teetaert to help out as housekeeper in the late 30’s. She married Desire in 1943. They were parishioners of St. Antoninus and she was a CWL member. Desire passed away in 1966. Sylvia stayed on the farm as Maurice and Marshall continued to farm. She married Silver Missinne in 1969 but they only had three years together as he passed away in 1972. Sylvia and Maurice moved in 1976 to Deloraine at 208 Kellett St. North after Marshall got married. Sylvia joined a Ladies Group, Mountview Centre and the Deloraine Horticulture. She loved to garden and have flowers in her yard and house. When she became 65 in 1985, she discovered her name was spelled “Selvie” so she changed it. She remained in her house until 2007 when she moved to Centennial Apartments. The Bren-Del-Win Lodge welcomed her in 2012 where she was very well looked after by the wonderful staff there. Selvie’s memory will be cherished by her children Marshall (Darlyne), Larry (Elaine), Adrienne (Murray) and daughter-in-law Ethel, 8 grandchildren, 20 greatgrandchildren; step-children Harry (Hilda) Teetaert, Alice Vanhantsaeme and all of their extended families. Predeceased by husbands Desire Teetaert (1966) and Silver Missinne (1972), sons Maurice (2013), Charles (2006), great-grandsons Gage and Logan Spence (2013), step-children Amiel (Jeanne) Teetaert, Martha (Gerard) Cappelle and step son-in-law Roger Vanhantsaeme. Also her special friend of 8 years Vern Johnsen. Prayers on Thursday night were officiated by Deacon Murray Teetaert. The funeral service was held Friday, September 25, 2015 at St. Antoninus Catholic Church with Rev. Paul Bisson officiating. Music was led by granddaughter Corina Ruus and great-granddaughter Mikayla. Pallbearers were Teetaert grandsons Chris, Jason, Curtis, Darren, Calvin and grandson-in-law Rauno Ruus. Interment was in the Deloraine Catholic Cemetery. Donations can be made to the Deloraine Bren-Del-Win Lodge. ___________________________________________ Thank you so much for the phone calls, visits, cards, flowers, memorials, food and baking plus the many acts of kindness shown to us during the loss of our Mom, Grandma and Great-Grandma Sylvia Missinne. Thank you to Deloraine Bren-DelWin Lodge staff for the wonderful care you gave our Mom, to Smith Funeral Home for your compassion and the care you showed our family, to Rev. Paul Bisson, Deacon Murray and the choir for their participation. Thanks to the pallbearers as well as those who did the eulogy and the readings. Thank you to the Catholic Women’s League for forming an honour guard and for making the wonderful lunch. We are so grateful to live in a small community with such caring people. ~ Many blessings from, Marshall, Larry, Adrienne, Ethel Teetaert & families

Closing the cottage Now that the days are shorter, the nights chillier, and the kids are back in school for another year, you may be ready to close up your cottage until next season. If you are thinking of completely shutting off your electricity, before the main switch is turned off, be sure all of the major appliances are turned off, as well as your water heater and electrical room heaters. This way you will avoid an appliance or room heater from automatically starting when turning the main switch back on in the spring. If you choose to leave the electricity on, there are a few items to check: • Make sure the power supply to all heating equipment including space heaters, is turned off at the main panel or unplugged to ensure they are not operating when no one is there. • Visually examine your hydro meter and power lines for damage. If you find a line that is down or damaged, call Manitoba Hydro at 1-888-624-9376. • Check all household cords, and if damaged, unplug the appliance and do not use it until the cord is replaced. If you are draining your hot water tank you should: • Remove the fuse or shut off the main breaker to disconnect power to the water heater. • Open the hot water tap at the sink. Attach a hose to the tank’s drain valve at the bottom of the tank and point the hose outside or towards a drain. • Open the drain valve and drain the tank completely. Once the tank is empty, remove the hose and close the drain valve. A few precautions now will allow for a safer and smoother cottage opening and start-up next spring.
GET YOUR PUMPKINS HERE - Ten year old Dustin Vandoorne’s summer project for several years running, has been growing pumpkins and selling them in the fall. There are several different colours and types including white, pink, almost red, striped, yellow, and the normal orange. And, of course, they come in several sizes including large, medium, small (for pies) and mini or gourd-type. Dustin’s brother Hayden (12) also has a summer project - he grows corn. Dustin’s goal with the money he is saving from his pumpkin projects is to purchase a Gleaner combine! What a great goal, Dustin! Part of his determination to have a Gleaner stems from the fact that his dad, Kelly, and brother, Hayden, are all about John Deere! Good luck, Dustin. Let us know if you reach your goal. You can purchase pumpkins from Dustin at his Grandma and Grandpa Vandoorne’s at 311 Finlay Ave. E. in Deloraine. PHOTO/COURTESY LAURA VANDOORNE

New principal at Waskada School by Judy Wells Waskada School welcomed a new principal this year. Mr. Jeff Bretecher has taken over the administrative role. Originally from the Ste. Rose/Dauphin area, Bretecher has taught in three other schools prior to coming to Waskada. He taught in Cross Lake for four years, mostly Grade 7 & 8 Science. This is also where he started coaching wrestling. From Cross Lake, Bretecher taught for five years in Richmound, a rural Saskatchewan town. He taught Grade 5-12 Math, Science, and Social Studies. Then Bretecher’s teaching career took him to Morden Middle School for 12 years. While there he taught Grade 8 subjects and also coached the wrestling team. In fact, one of his students has gone onto be a member of the Regina Cougar’s wrestling team. “She is a national champion and has attended the Canada Games. I was only there at the beginning of her career but if I had anything to do with introducing her to start wrestling, that makes me happy,” said Bretecher. As far as initiating a
wrestling program in the school or area, Bretecher says he will happily do so if it is feasible and there is interest. Besides administrative duties at Waskada School, Bretecher will be teaching Essential Math Grade 11 and 12. Besides being a wrestling coach, Bretecher is a long-time Lions member. He has already joined the Waskada Lions Club and been to two or three meetings. The school will participating in a Peace Poster Contest (a Lions initiative). The best local poster will go on to the next level. The theme of the contest is “Share Peace. What are Bretecher’s goals for Waskada School? “I want to make sure the school meets the needs of the students, that the programs we offer are useful to the students as they move on to the future. I want to make sure Waskada School is a viable option in the future - that students will want to come to this school. I love small schools. There is a lot of teacher-student one-on-one interaction. The teacher gets to know each student very well and students accomplish more. Waskada School is

a great venue for learning for students and I want to make sure that it remains that way,” said Bretecher. Another goal of Bretecher’s is for the community to see him around Town. “I want to be part of
the community. I want them to know I care about the kids, the community, and the town. It’s my first time as principal and there is lots to learn. I know the staff will help guide me and I hope the community will do the same,” he concluded.

The Roblin Review Prairie Mountain Health Authority sees $5 million deficit Prairie Mountain Health Authority (PMHA) is running a $5.4 million deficit it was announced at the Health Authority’s annual general meeting at Elkhorn Resort, September 22. While the number may see high, the Board is not concerned at the moment. “We had originally budgeted a deficit for about $4.8 million, so we were slightly worse off than we thought, said Brian Schoonbaert, vice-president of finance, capital and support services. Last year, PMHA saw a surplus of $7 million, marking quite a change over the course of year. And Schoonbaert said there were two main reasons for such a drastic change. “In the previous year and not in 2014-2015, we had a one time funding of $5 million. The second item was there was a number of pressure points in the region where we had to approve business cases, additional requests for funding through a standardized process.”

Red Shoe Crew Walk raises over $2,500 Over 100 members of the Waywayseecappo community and surrounding are stepped out together for the first annual Red Shoe Crew Walk on Saturday, September 26, raising over $2,500 for Ronald McDonald House (RMH) and showing support for the family of the last Bryce Clearsky. “Over 111 people signed the guest book but looking at pictures, we can see that there were far more people than that” said event registrar Adrianna Cloud (Bryce’s sister). The idea for the Red Shoe Crew Walk was spearheaded by Rose Shingoose and Anthony Longclaws following the death of their 3-year-old son, Bryce, in March of this year. Having stayed at RMH in Winnipeg and Toronto during Bryce’s treatment for Hemophaegocytic hymphohistiocytosis, the couple learned first hand how important it is to have a convenient and understanding place to stay

Fundraiser rolls through Neepawa Students from the University of Manitoba’s Faculty of Agriculture were in Neepawa last Friday for their annual bed push fundraiser. They were raising funds for Cancer Care by pushing a bed from the Safeway parking lot to the Yellowhead Centre. Nearly $7,000 has been raised this year from visits to Portage, Oakville, and Gladstone. The participants were staying overnight in Minnedosa and taking part in a fundraising breakfast. They were then travelling to Carberry, Glenboro, and finishing up with a barbecue supper in Carman.

Hi Reena, I read with interest your article about fruit flies and you indicated that they could also come from the soil. I have some of those flies and am not sure if they are coming from one of my plants or from the tomatoes that I picked. What is the best way to get rid of them from the soil? Also, if I take my geraniums inside during late fall; is that where the flies come from? If I can nip it in the bud as soon as I take them in, that would be great. Thanks, Jacki Dear Jacki, First, set out a bowl of vinegar to determine if the bugs are fruit flies or fungus gnats.
